Answer 1

Beings that you don't have any units with your numbers I can't for sure say what they mean but here are the normals for a male and what an abnormal value COULD mean (some of them were not listed in my lab book):

Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT)
-liver enzyme sensitive to biliary and liver disorders, including alcoholic liver disease. Normal value 9-50 International Units/Liter (IU/L) I can't tell if this is high since you didn't add the units his lab values were measured in.

-Platelet Count: Normal 150,000-450,000 cubic millimeters (mm3) (his is normal)

As for his diagnosis Autoimmune Chronic Liver Disease: Basically, chronic means it is long term. Liver Disease is very vague. There are many different types. Find out what type he has and google it.

HEV is Hepatitis E Virus which is an infection spread through the feces (stool) of an infected person. It is acute, meaning it will last less than 6 months.

I will give you a website where you can go and find information. Also just googling in "Chronic Liver Disease" or "HEV" should turn up with quite a few websites.

I do not know what Abdominal Kochs is.

As for the position of the liver: if you divide your stomach into four quadrants with the belly button being the very center, your liver is in the right, upper quadrant. It is a very vascular organ, filtering your blood at 1500 mL per minute. (L. White, 2000) Your liver also secretes bile which breaks down the fat you eat. Among many other things, it produces prothrombin and and fibrinogen, which are necessary for blood clotting. Poisonous toxins (e.g. alcohol) are detoxified in the liver.

I hope I helped a little bit. There is quite a lot of information in your question. What did the doctor tell your dad? That is probably the best info you're gonna get. I'm sorry to hear about your father, I hope he is doing well.

you can go to http://www.webmd.com and just search for his diagnoses in the search box.

or just go to http://www.google.com and type in either one of his diagnoses.

Answer 2

Talk to the doctor. The basics of the report suggest that there is a very serious condition of the liver, and the information there should be verified by a second doctor's opinion.

Answer 3

He has Hep E and it is destroying his liver. What did the doctor tell ya?

I dont understand what you want.

Answer 4

Herbal therapy---milk thistle can reverse liver damage
Also aromotherapy---the smell of roses is very healing.
